Are rechargable batteries (AA example) allowed on US Navy ships?

Question

I mean, due to the consumer electronics personnel use on the ships, obviously they would recharge something like an I pod or video camera battery. However, what about something like a Maglite 6D flashlight (random example). I mean, those are the kind of batteries that if left around and get damaged would be hazardous due to the materials inside, right?

Correct me if I am wrong.

Also, can you guys give me a link on what the stores on Navy ships keep on stock? I've heard that you can purchase good quality consumer goods like video cameras and such.

Answer 1

the geedunk stores do NOT carry electronics.  Junk food, stamps, stationary and toiletries are about it.

  The geedunk shops are about  the size of your master bedroom closet.  

you probably mean the Exchanges on base.   big difference.

as for the battery charger:  only if it is tagged by the Electronics guys.  in fact ANYTHING that requires plugging in must pass inspection.  but where would you store it?  your rack only has a finite amount of storage space..and that is not very much at all.  same with spare batteries: they must be locked away.
